Art Psychotherapy - Introduction

This workshop will be facilitated by University of Roehampton.

This one-day workshop will introduce participants to some of the principles which underpin art therapeutic practice.

Participants will be invited to engage in a range of art making process to explore their own personal symbols and unconscious imagery in a safe and playful environment. Links will also be made to theory and clinical practice and how insight derived from the workshop might develop the clinician’s understanding of non-verbal communication.

This workshop provides experiential learning about art therapy. It is therefore of interest to anyone wishing to find out more about training as an art therapist or artists wanting to explore art making in a unique environment.

Participants should wear clothes that they are comfortable to make art in. A degree of active participation will be expected from all participants.
